  2. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    For example, the orbital 1s (pronounced as the individual numbers and letters: "'one' 'ess'") is the lowest energy level (n = 1) and has an angular quantum number of ℓ = 0, denoted as s. Orbitals with ℓ = 1, 2 and 3 are denoted as p, d and f respectively.

  3. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6, meaning that the 1s, 2s, and 2p subshells are occupied by two, two, and six electrons, respectively. Electronic configurations describe each electron as moving independently in an orbital, in an average field created by the nuclei and all the other electrons.

  4. Orbital ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_ring

    An orbital ring is a concept of an artificial ring placed around a body and set rotating at such a rate that the apparent centrifugal force is large enough to counteract the force of gravity. For the Earth , the required speed is on the order of 10 km/sec, compared to a typical low Earth orbit velocity of 8 km/sec.

  5. Particle in a ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_in_a_ring

    The case of a particle in a one-dimensional ring is an instructive example when studying the quantization of angular momentum for, say, an electron orbiting the nucleus. The azimuthal wave functions in that case are identical to the energy eigenfunctions of the particle on a ring.

  6. Bohr–Sommerfeld model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr–Sommerfeld_model

    The Bohr–Sommerfeld model was fundamentally inconsistent and led to many paradoxes. The magnetic quantum number measured the tilt of the orbital plane relative to the xy plane, and it could only take a few discrete values. This contradicted the obvious fact that an atom could be turned this way and that relative to the coordinates without ...

  7. Spectroscopic notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopic_notation

    This notation is used to specify electron configurations and to create the term symbol for the electron states in a multi-electron atom. When writing a term symbol, the above scheme for a single electron's orbital quantum number is applied to the total orbital angular momentum associated to an electron state.

  8. Megastructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megastructure

    An orbital ring is a dynamically elevated ring placed around the Earth that rotates at an angular rate that is faster than orbital velocity at that altitude, stationary platforms can be supported by the excess centripetal acceleration of the super-orbiting ring (similar in principle to a Launch loop), and ground-tethers can be supported from ...

  9. Localized molecular orbitals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localized_molecular_orbitals

    The localized orbital corresponding to one O-H bond is the sum of these two delocalized orbitals, and the localized orbital for the other O-H bond is their difference; as per Valence bond theory. For multiple bonds and lone pairs, different localization procedures give different orbitals.
